This course is suitable for those who have already completed Irish Language 1 or who already have a grasp of only the very basics of the language.

Take your first steps in learning one of Europe's most fascinating and expressive languages. These classes, specially prepared for online learning, will guide you through the basics of the language, offering you structured lessons with a practical emphasis on the spoken language. Participants will be provided with learning materials and audio files in advance of each class. You will have plenty of opportunities to practice what you learn in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

The course is aimed at those who have not studied Irish before or those who may have been learning Irish on their own without many opportunities for face-to-face interaction with native speakers. If you previously attended some lessons but have fallen out of practice you may also find you benefit from revisiting and reinforcing the fundamentals.

Timetable

Participants will attend either or both of our 1-day intensive courses on Saturday, February 7th and Saturday, February 21st, 2026. Each day will focus on different aspects of the language and it is not a requirement to have attended the first course if you wish to join the second day of classes. All class and event times listed on our website are local to Ireland (GMT)—please take this into account when viewing our course calendar if you live outside of Ireland.
